Some folks have asked why we collect birthday. According to the e-mail marketing folks and anti spamming groups- you can't sign up to get email from us if you are under 13 years old. Also your mobile phone number is optional, but if you would like to get BEC news on your phone- sign up. Zip Code we are collecting so that if there is a tour coming to you area- we can email you directly about it. Thanks- BEC Recordings
